Totsukuni no Shoujo (2022)

The world is divided between the Inner Land of humans and the Outer Land, where strange beings believed to carry a terrible curse are forced to remain. Near the border, one of those outsiders finds a lone human child named Shiva among abandoned bodies. Instead of fearing him, she grows attached to him and calls him “Teacher.” He chooses to protect her even though a single touch may pass the curse to her. The two build a quiet life together while carefully preserving the distance between them, but a world that survives by fearing everything on the other side is unlikely to leave their fragile bond undisturbed.
